Is this payback for the UN oil-for-food scandal?

Recently we discovered Mass grave reveals remains of Iraqi women and children. But the excuvation of this and some other 40 such sites is being hampered because European experts are failing to join in. Seemingly because the evidence may be used against Saddam and he faces the death penalty, which is opposed by the Europeans.

The horrific secrets of a mass grave in northern Iraq emerged yesterday as American officials accused Europeans of failing to help in the search to uncover Saddam Hussein's atrocities.

Hundreds of bodies, including those of pregnant women, children clutching toys and men bound and blindfolded were exhumed at a site in Hatra, near Mosul. The dead are said to be Kurds shot by Iraqi forces in the late 1980s, during a campaign that included the chemical attack on the town of Halabja.

And now The Belmont Club has this bomb shell (pun intended):

From Blackfive comes a link to how Canadian troops in Afghanistan realized an ammo dump that had supposedly been cleared by European troops --wasn't.

Troops from the Princess Patricia Regiment discovered a large pile of explosives ten minutes away from their camp. It contained:

... 82 buried bunkers, each 20-metres long, housed thousands of Soviet FROG missiles (one step down from Scud missiles), and every variety of rocket and mortar shells. ... Some of the FROG missiles were still in their original cases. Some heaped in the open. Some stacked to the roof in the unlocked, open bunkers. Much of the ordnance had warheads removed to collect the explosive for homemade bombs -- or for blasting at a nearby quarry. "Unbelievable!" was Maj. Brian Hynes' reaction when he saw them. "We (troops of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)) have been here some two years, and no one knew this was at our back door. Unbelievable."

I like this part near the end:

Somehow I think someone missed the point. There is probably some perfectly plausible reason why a Swedish UN functionary, a French major and a German Colonel -- one civilian, two officers, three nationalities, none of who would be in the same chain of command -- should show up at precisely the moment a Canadian officer discovers a large number of surface to surface missiles lying around unguarded, but it escapes me.

Be sure to read the whole article.

So, tell me again why it is so difficult to understand why weapons of mass destruction have not been found yet? Maybe they have been found somewhere by someone.
